"Truva is a good option when you want a chill outing with friends and a great multi-course meal. Noise from always-busy Virginia Ave ceases once inside this easy-to-miss oasis in VaHi. An azure-colored bar brings calming energy to a dining room with earthy tones and mismatched wicker lighting fixtures. Then the smells of Mediterranean dishes hit, and you can almost taste the roasted red pepper zing of the muhammara spread before you even sit down. Order that and the zucchini pancake loaded down with scallions, and revel in the crunch when your knife cuts into the crispy exterior. Bring a small crew so you can order more things since the menu is packed with other excellent shareable plates like ground lamb- and beef-stuffed dumplings and thinly shaved doner kebabs. photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman photo credit: Sarah Newman" - Juli Horsford
